Replacement Hub Options For a Peterson Brothers Gator 417 Boat Trailer With 5 On 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern

Question:

Good morning. I am trying to locate new replacement hubs for an OLD trailer. The trailer is a 1960s model Peterson Brothers trailer. Its their Gator series. Model number 417. I would have to assume that the trailer axel is rated for under 2,000lbs as the load capacity on the plate states 1450 pounds. The hubs that are on there now are 5 lug 4-1/2 inches. Inner bearing - Part number 152118 Japan D ZN Bower Inner bearing I.D 1.17in Outer bearing- Part number 09078 Japan D ZL Bower Inner bearing ID - .75 Grease seal No part number OD - 2.45in (63.3mm) ID - 1.62in (41.3mm)

Based on your spindle measurements you will want to update your axle as there are no replacement hubs which will fit your current spindle. We have a couple different size axle which includes idler hubs with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

60" etrailer Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e84YR
72" Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # 20545I-ST-72-15

You can also have 2 new Spindles # TRU59FR welded onto your axle and then be able to use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-1K on each side of your axle.
